Can can’t drawing coin game
Choose one of the subjects in the left column and one of the actions in the right column below. Before you start drawing, secretly flip a coin. If you get heads, draw a positive “…can…” sentence with that person or thing successfully doing that thing, e.g. a dog typing on a computer with real words on the screen. If you get tails, draw a negative “…can’t…” sentence showing that person or thing trying to do something but failing, e.g. a boy dropping all three juggling balls and looking sad. The first person to say the whole correct sentence gets one point. If no one gets it, you can also draw the opposite sentence and cross it out, circle the important part of the picture and/ or circle key words below.
